You have to think back to how the Orioles got Guthrie. He was a 1st round pick for the Indians who just never developed for them. They put him on waivers and the Orioles got him. I think he may just be the kind of guy who gets himself into a vicious cycle of struggling then putting more pressure on himself to get it turned around. When he came to the Orioles he got a clean slate and his talent came through but now he may be back into that vicious cycle and he may need that clean slate again.

There's no denying that the Orioles have gotten a LOT of value out of Guthrie considering they picked him up on Rule 5 and honestly didn't pay a whole lot for him. But it's looking more and more like it's time to let him go before they LOSE value on him.

Over under on how long Guts stays in the rotation with Tillman tearing it up in AAA.... I'm going 6 games

Hoping he doesn't break camp with them. If he does, I give it a month if he keeps up this performance.

Reimold GIDP to end the inning, but he's showing a lot of patience at the plate. Took it to a 3-2 count.

      Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
